Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are available to all classes initially (as opposed to Mass Effect 2) due to the new system in place allowing you use any gun you want straight away, but sometimes with a penalty depending on which class you are (Soldiers being the only class able to hold every weapon type at once). These weapons are designed for multiple situations. They are great for up-close use, medium range, and even long range depending on the situation. These weapons have an extremely high rate of fire, effective for dispatching enemies quickly. Short bursts of shots are most accurate when using this weapon, due to high recoil. This is a great weapon for all classes, especially biotic or tech based characters.
